Abstract

Affirmative action efforts have resulted in the recruitment of more women to junior faculty positions in schools of social work. However, the promotion and retention of women faculty members often depends on the women's ability to write for publication in addition to all the other heavy demands of their positions. This article reports on a self-help group to increase the scholarly output of its three women members. It describes the development of the group, its structure and process, its areas of conflict, and the factors that contributed to its success. Suggestions are made for adapting the effort to other settings.
